Other name(s): GTI; uridine diphosphoglucose-flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose:flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase; UDPG:flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-glucose:flavonol 3-O-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: Acts on a variety of flavonols, including quercetin and quercetin 7-O-glucoside. Different from EC 2.4.1.81 (flavone 7-O-β-glucosyltransferase).
